Event Details

Bushcraft Camping Weekend

Get out in the open, back to nature, and camp by the river at our new Bushcraft Camp in Steyning in one of our cosy, handmade canvas Baker Tents.

A Baker Tent, in its construction, is pretty simple and can be opened up to allow the heat of your campfire to circulate throughout. They are even sometimes referred to as ‘Camp Fire Tents’, for this reason.

Super cosy and perfect for a winter camp, but also breathable and open for warmer weather. Pretty versatile and not a spot of nylon in sight!

Your Baker Tent will be set up for you on arrival, with the following items. And if you fall in love with it – we have more – packed up and ready for you to take home with you in our canvas carry case!

Get the authentic, traditional Bushcraft and canoe camp experience, reminiscent of the adventures of our absolute hero, Bill Mason.

Extras Available on Site

Billy Can Breakfast – cooked for you on site, using local ingredients - £8

Our winter camp is as warm and toasty as we can make it – but it is still winter! So DO still bring warm clothes – layers are best. Be sure to bring a warm hat, socks and gloves as heat will escape through those parts of the body first.

Organiser

Axe & Paddle Bushcraft

Axe & Paddle Bushcraft began back in 2012, when husband and wife team Steven and Kirsty Le Say hosted a Spoon Carving Workshop in a friend’s garden.

In the three years since, we’ve opened up our own seaside workshop just outside of Brighton, where we host a number of courses, teaching traditional skills and crafts. Steve also hand makes a range of premium quality lifestyle and traditional adventure gear, which he thoroughly enjoys putting through its paces!
